GAS-BURNER, jroia HEATERS.

To all whom it may concern: 7 Y

.Be it known that 1, Burns DEPEW, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city 01": New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of l\ew York, have invented a new and Improved Gas-Burner for Heaters, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide anew and improved gas burner for use in the fire box of a kitchen range, house'heating furnace and similar heater, and ar ranged to insure the production of a high heat with an exceedingly economical consumption of gas.

Another object is to provide a gas burner' which can be readily installed in a fire box without requiring alteration of the same.

Another object is to provide a gas burner which is not liable to burn out, hence insuring long life of the gas burner.

Another object is to providea gas burner which is exceedingly simple in construction, not liable to get out of order easily, and cheap to manufacture.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying draw- .ings forming a part of this specification, in

Fig. 3 is an enlarged cross section of one I of the side tubes and one of the perforate pipes rislng therefrom.

The gas burner in its general construc-- tion comprises two side tubes 10 and 11 and a top tube 12, the tubes being closed at one end by suitable caps 13, 14 and 15 and being connectedby elbow connections 16, 17 andv 18 with a fixture 20 in the form of a T having an inlet 21 at the front end. The inlet 21 is connected by a nipple 25 into which fits the reduced end 26 of a as and air mixer 27 having a. mixing charmer 28 connected Specification of Letters Patent. 7 PgttQ t- Q Se t 192g 'Application filed February 12, 1920.

openings29 with the atmosphere. Into the mixing chamber 28 extends a nozzle 30 connected with a gas supply pipe 31 connected with a gas main'or other suitable gas supply. It will be noticed that by the arrangement described gas and air are mixed in the chamber 28 and this mixture passes by way of the nipple 25 into the fixture'20 from which the mixture is distributed into the side pipes 10 and ll'and the top tube 12.

From the side tubes 10- and 11 rise perforate pipes 40 and 41 closed at their upper ends and having their perforations 42 and 43 arranged in the direction of the'length of the side tubes 10 and 11, as will be readily understood byreference to Figs. 1 and 3. From the top tube 12 extend side'wise, upwardly and outwardly diverging perforate pipes 45, 46 closed at the upper ends and having their perforations 47, 48 extending in an upward direction. The ends of the pipes 45 and 46 are in vertical planes adjacent the vertical planes in which the per- 'forate pipes 40, 41 are located, and the said upper ends of the pipes 45, 46 terminate a short distance above the upper ends of the upright. pipes 40, 41. Perforate bottom pipes 50, 51 extend from the side tubes '10 and 11 toward each other, and the perforations 52 and 53 of the bottom pipes 50 and 51 p are located on top. The ends of the pipes 50 and 51 terminate a short distance from the corresponding side tubes 10 and 11 and the said tubes 50 and 51are arranged alternately onerelative to the other, similar to the top pipes 45 and 46.

. The side tubes 10 and 11 are spaced apart so as to extend close to the side walls 60 and 61 of the fire box 62 in which the burner is installed, it being understood that the said tubes 1.0 and 11- and their bottom pipes 50 and 51 are arranged 1n the lower portion of the fire box while the upper ends of the pipes 40 and 41 terminate a short distance below the top 63 of the fire box.

It will be noticed that by the arrangement described the inflammable mixture of gas and air readily burns in small jets and with a blue flame at the perforations of the several pipes 40, 41, 45', 46, 50 and 51, and hence a large number of such burning jets are provided whereby an exceedingly high heat is distributed with an economical consumption of gas.

It is understood that the gas burner, with "the exception of the nipple 25 and. the mixer 27, extends within the fire box while the I nipple extends through the door of the fire box to the outside thereof thus locating the mixer 27 likewise outside of the fire box for convenient connection with a gas supply.

The gas burner shown and described is very simple in construction, being practically made of pipes and pipe fittings, and it can be cheaply manufactured and readily installed in the fire box of gas range, house heating furnace and other heaterf Having thus described my invention, I claim, as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent I l. gas burner for heaters, comprising side tubes and a top tube, the tubes being closed at one end and connected at the other end with a fixture common to the tubes, a gas and air mixer connected with the said fixture to supply the latter and the tubes with a mixture of gas and air, upright perforate pipes rising from the said side tubes, perforate-bottom pipes-extending from the side tubes toward each other, and perforate pipes diverging sidewise upwardly and outavardly from the said top tube.

2. A gas burner for heaters, comprising side tubes and a top tube, the tubes being closed at one end and connected at the other end with a fixture common tothe tubes, a gas and air mixer connected with the said fixture to supply the latter and the tubes with a mixture of gas and air, upright perforate pipes rising from the said side tubes, perforate bottom pipes extending from the side tubes toward each other, and perforate pipes diverging sidewise upwardly and outwardly from the said top tube, the ends of the said diverging-pipes extending in planes adjacent the planes of the said upright plpes.
